Game Censorship & Localization General Thread

this is why game censorship discussion is hell. You have to share space with lolicon defenders, who a completely average Kiwi Farms user by the name of "Null" has helpfully highlighted are usually pedophiles.
It's only hell because loli is censors go to argument in current year. It's something people don't want to defend, and the instant you distance yourself from it, they'll use that as a wedge and then redefine loli. Remember when the big titties sorcerer in Dragons Crown was called a pedo fantasy? It's the same tactic over and over.

Despite dear leader's feelings, there have been no actual high profile cases of lolicons being pedos. Meanwhile, on Twitter, you got SJWs and freaking Furries taking potshots at lolicons/shotacons, when both groups have had multiple high profile cases of one their own being actual pedophiles. What you must realize is that going after lolicons is, more often than not, a deflection, on the part of the anti-loli crusaders, and they are far more degenerate than the people they target.
 
Eh, I could believe that, but that's because most lolicon likers I have seen are so shut-in and autistic even a child would know something is wrong with them outside of a highly controlled environment.

I think the described is simply a case of throwing the lesser portions of their shared, ahem, movement under the bus when convenient.

I don't see how Null's observations are "feelings" when he has directly stated that he's seen lolicon posters on 8chan back in the day being the same ones who posted actual CSAM.

That doesn't surprise me. 8chan was a hive of degeneracy and autism the likes of which the internet had never seen and would never see again.
 
Pikmin 2, a game that ws already in english, has had it's dialogue re-written for switch.

I would be deeply suspicious that the translator reached for "cunny capitalism."

The use of that word is a red flag for pedophilic tendencies in many instances, and I would question why they chose it.

Indeed, and if you want to tell those pedos to go fuck themselves you have to share space with trannies who are usually pedos themselves too, it's a lose/lose situation and the reason why culture wars are a lost cause.

Shit is getting real with Skullgirls and its exploding all over Twitter. This tweet pretty much lays it out there for those who want to know the details and this tweet quote retweets the announcement.

Basically, they are effectively censoring a product 10 years after its initial releasing, removing content from a product people have long already paid for just to virtue signal. They also removed the Russian announcer because of the War in Ukraine. However, the Russian announcer was a crowdfunding backer goal. So they removed something that crowd funders specifically paid to be in the game. I'm not even sure that's legal.
I really hate this Ship of Theseus thing going on in video games now where you buy something and, because of how the game is distributed, the devs can just change their minds and completely change the game over time with updates into something completely unrecognizable from the original product.
Didn't the studio behind Skullgirls fire the guy who was responsible for like everything over something retarded like flirting with fans? I know fuckall about this or anything fighting games but I was under the impression that this game owed its success entirely to it being coomer bait.
It does, don't let the faggot brigade on Twitter convince you otherwise. I played the game when it first came out. It's a sexy girl fighter, the artwork is the main selling point. A prominent hentai artist named Zone-Tan made some tentacle porn of one of the fighters and the dev team invited her to make some assets for the game (I think it was a skin of one of the fighters made to look like her). The other selling point is the 1940s aesthetic, which is why one of the fighters has goons with fascist regalia.

preface: lolicon does nothing for me, just to get ahead of retards too dumb to understand you can argue from a position not your own.

when it comes to loli you have to keep different things in mind:
it's just lines (or pixels) on a screen, no one is defining shit like cuties or sexualized children beauty pegants as such besides retards trying to conflate these things. japan does have kid gravure, but this isn't japan and most people frown about something like that (again, see cuties and the blowback).
the point is fiction isn't reality, and most people are aware of it. troons are already mentally ill, so it shouldn't surprise anyone they can't separate fiction from reality like 99.9% of the population can. people will find a lot things in their head arousing, but never act on it or want to (the famous "women dream of being raped").

next is context, which again comes from the fantasy. no kid in real life will ever behave like a loli or most expect them to - because they are fucking kids, not some idealized fantasy version of such, which again most people understand is a big difference (no kid will ever seduce anyone like an adult would or act like a succubus etc.). while this is not all the content, that's most of it - see the often abused "1000 year old loli" argument tards bring up. when it's not, it's not really about loli either and goes more into a innocence/corruption thing, but so does a lot of things people don't bat an eye over, like all the rape fiction again or even degenerate shit like guro or ryona. there is no clear separation, which means it's importaint in which context the actual MUH LOLI stuff comes up. remember, these days you're not even allowed to draw a simple picture without context and not have some retards flip their shit (because in their head they sexualise everything, see the last point).

as a population we can't (and never should) go after thoughts. we only can do prevention and punishment after an actual crime - if people only fap to it in their own home, there is no victim, and such no crime. if you follow the line they might act on it (which no one can prove since there is no way to actually conduct proper studies and get statistics - yeah no shit pedos have fapped to loli, but how many did and never become pedos?), it opens a whole can of worms anyone with two braincells will understand means full minority report shit. "oh so you thought of killing someone after he cut you off in traffic? better go in the isocube perp!", if not outright "secessionary/heretical thoughs". this is fucking clown world, you know this is gonna happen and already does to an extend (anyone wearing a red cape is a MAGA CHUD who wants to string up all fags and niggers).

loli isn't even the issue, coomers are. or, to an even bigger extend, anyone who makes whatever shit his whole personality. this goes both ways, I'm far less concerned about someone spouting dumb shit like "post cunny feet" on 4chan ironically to get a reaction than self-proclaimed dr. pizza crusaders where I have to wonder where the conviction actually comes from, and which @The Demon Pimp of Razgriz pointed out is usually just deflection and compensation for something (which are usually libtards because it appeals to their smoothbrain).

EDIT: something worth mentioning: "only weirdos are pedos" is retarded hollywood shit. most of them live absolutely normal lives where no one would even suspect such a thing - this includes even the most notorious ones like fritzl or priklopil (not sure if you burgers ever had something to that extend). this also overlooks that a lot of cases (I'd say majority but can't be arsed to look up the stats) happen in a closer social environment, if not outright family where a father diddles/sells his kids (or mother, which is another proof all the equality talk is bullshit. gender doesn't matter if you're a piece of shit human being).

The guy who wrote the article about the tiddy witch being pedo bait got righteously ripped a new one. Overall it was a very strange accusation to make in a game where the art style is all about exaggerated anatomy. Naturally the big boobies are going to stand out. But that ain't loli and that guy was retarded. I hope people are still laughing at him to this day.

Of course, "flat chested girl who is 18+" isn't loli either. But that doesn't stop people from saying otherwise. If anything that infantilizes women with flat chests.

And then there's that Skullgirls nonsense I saw upthread. A different beast. But a similar situation. Turning big boobs into taboo isn't right either.

The whole thing is retarded and designs are suffering for it.
 
Always found the localization of World of Warcraft in China to be interesting. Top images are Chinese Localization. When all else fails..just add bread.

So in the Chinese version are the scourge just a faction of bread loving chefs or something?

Is the Lich king renamed to The Bread Emperor?

I want to know how far they took this bread thing.

Only npcs I found spoken about with bread shoved on them were the aboms in scholomance. They just make the undead lumpy and blur out the skulls on arthas.
 
Trails from Reverie, a game that the fans have been waiting for for 3 years, just came out and it's localization is so bad that it completely fucked one of the game's core mechanics, causes the game to crash by fishing, and was found to have straight up copy pasted information from Cold Steel 4 that doesn't even match to the correct character (an enemy being given the name "Young Officer - Rifle" even though his model clearly shows him holding a pistol.)

A video showcasing some of the complaints if you can tolerate the editing:

And on top of all these mechanical incompetence, there's political incompetence where I'm fairly certain that NISA has had plenty of their localizers come out and say they change shit they find "distasteful". Plus they keep changing anything celebrating femininity and masculinity. Not really sure what people expected.
